Boots
and
Shoes.
Boots
and
shoes
should
be
cleaned
frequently,
whether
they
are
worn
or
not,
and
should
never
be
left
in
a
damp
place,
nor
be
put
too
near
to
the
fire
to
dry.
In
cleaning
them,
be
careful
to
brush
the
dirt
from
the
seams,
and
not
to
scrape
it
off
with
a
knife,
or
you
may
cut
the
leather.
Let
the
hard
brush
do
its
work
thoroughly
well,
and
the
polish
will
be
all
the
brighter.
